I collected modern baseball and basketball cards as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s. I stopped in mid 90s. I started back up again probably 15 years ago focusing on collecting one card of MLB HOF's during their playing days because of my love of history. While writing a capstone paper for my history degree, and spent a decent amount of time with my capstone advisor/mentor. He was a big Tigers fan and had multiple books on Ty Cobb. I really enjoyed reading A Terrible Beauty. Cobb became my favorite player from the pre-war era. Walter Johnson and I share the same birthday and he was an amazing pitcher, natural connection. Two years ago I stopped collecting one card for each MLB HOFs and decided to focus just on Cobb and WaJo. I traded almost all of my cards of the HOF collection besides just a few for Cobbs and WaJos.
